It is still probably going to be 3-1 or 2-1 to Australia. If India wins it will be 2-1. Let's see.

Do you really think these two teams have the temperament or ability to bat out draws? Unless there's rain, I find it tough to see matches going into a fifth day.

Both bowlings are better than batting. On top of that, all the batters are agressive stroke players. There's no Pujaras on either side. Only wannabes like Labuschagne. I expect a result in all 5 games.
 
After seeing India in the first game, I think it is gonna be almost 3-2 Australia.

There willl be rain along the way. Indian team cannot bat out sessions, but Australia might if Smith and Labu are back in form although I highly doubt they will

Perhaps. At least in the first 3 games (as we can see from Perth), I don't expect we'll need 5 days for the test so even if we lose a day or so, we should get a result.

Maybe in Sydney and Melbourne, Day 5 will matter. Given how the batters are flashing outside offstump, I doubt it though.

Tbh apart from Travis Head and Mitchel Marsh, there is no real game changer for Australia with the bat. These players are also horribly inconsistent and only play well in 1 innings out of 5. Steve Smith is no longer the same player that he was in his prime pre-ban, he has been playing on past laurels. Australia do not have an opener who can get them off to a fast ruthless start, David Warner's retirement has hit them hard. Zero quality in Australia's batting. If you don't go hard against the likes of Bhumrah, Siraj and co, they will walk over you.

Enough said about Australia's bowlers i.e. Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins, Lyons against India's batters in Australia. These bowlers have failed Australia against India in Australia for 3 consecutive series in a row. They are now permanently scarred. Unless Australia gambles with some fresh new unscarred bowlers, they will fail yet again as well.

Head
Marsh
Smith
Carey

All quality players

Then they are missing green which hurt them.

Khawaja is too old.

And bowling is quality no matter which way you slice it. Starc is the only useless guy in the team. He needs to be dropped for Morris or Fergus o Neil .

Remember that India have to win a minimum of 4 games to ensure WTC final qualification.

Don't think so. 3-1 Aussies easily win.

India don't have shami. And rohit will come back. Rohit is rubbish.

Gill the model will come in to make life easier for Aussies. So yea.

Agree wtc matters more than series win. One off is much more important but we won't make it anyway.

yeah, i agree. Very slim chances of next two games going to day 5. I doubt it will be same at Melbourne too. But Sydney may have rains or might even go to day five if it stays flat or fails to offer any spin
 
If India can win the pink ball test than We are winning the series.

The only way Australians can make a comeback in this series is by winning Adelaide test

If they bottle it , it's over for them.

I think mcg india will win for sure imo

Bumrah is magic down there. He loves Melbourne and huge support there.

Also gabba I believe bumrah will be deadly. Shami also will be back

Scg I think aus wins.

Adelaide history favours aus. Either 2-2 or if india wins Adelaide then 3-1 india.

If india lose Adelaide then 2-2 or 3-1 aus

Our bowling is entirely depends on bumrah and bumrah can't perform in every matches.

Australia is likely to win 3-1 or 4-1 .
 
I think it may be Aus 3-1 or 2-2.

Both batting is brittle enough to make draw hard.

Sharma is back, he will play T20 in test cricket and India can be 3 wickets down within 20 overs. How Indian openers played in this test is vastly under rated.

Go Aus...
 
The absence of Josh Hazlewood in the 2nd Test will give India a chance, but I think this time Marnus Labuschagne has a surprise in store for India.

India had played 1st test without shami ,gill and Rohit but still won comfortably .
Hazelwood absence is not hurt australia at all . If they will lose next test than some people's will definitely use Hazlewood absence a excuse. :kp
 
Fully expect the series result to be 4-1 Australia.
 
The gap between 1st and 2nd Test has been too big. Certainly India was expecting otherwise result but the win came as a surprise. Good that Boland has joined the squad but ideally should have replaced Starc or Cummins.

Match/ Schedule was fixed by cricket Australia. It has nothing to do with india performance . :kp
 
India is in the lead 1-0. Can they keep that lead??

The tables have turned well after the last game. Australia would be under pressure.
 
Jaiswal & KL Rahul should open.
Shubman Gill at 3
Kohli at 4
Rohit at 5
Pant at 6
Nitish at 7
Washington at 8
Bumrah , Siraj & Rana

Thsi should be the line up

Not need for Rohit to open. Play him at 5 against slightly older ball on hard pitches. He can do a Gilchrist

That was 4-5 years ago. Back then, Australia were low in confidence.

They are more well-gelled now under Cummins.

They had Tim Paine as the captain. He was a poor leader. India took advantage of his poor leadership and ended up winning.

Under Cummins, Aussies seem more focused and capable. Cummins has brought old glory back to Australia (3 ICC trophies).

Cummins team won the WTC by beating the daylight out of your team. Windies win was an anomaly.

Cummins team is likely to beat the daylight out of India again (both in next series and in WTC final).

Don't tell me what to do.

So much arrogance in the first page. Now either hiding or making silly excuses like how Australians intentionally underperform due to IPL etc. Even eye candy Cummins has deserted them. This is what happens when your own team is absolute minnow and your kiss the rear side of white teams due to pure jealousy for India.

#EpicHumiliation
 
Australia (pre series) were too favorite but Indian team or to be precise youngsters have shown some great fight which may result in a very tighly contested series. It's still Australian series to lose. They need to replace Usman Khawaja and Smith with someone asap before next Test. Marsh is not a liability but a gun player who at times is just too reckless.
 
The outcome of this series was never in doubt. Australia was always going to prevail this time.

Only delusional Indian fans thought they were going to win the series after the fluke win at Perth.

Yes just like Perth test.

Pink test is not a real test cricket and it doesn't matter much to the context of series.


Wait for next three test

Yes, let’s scrap it from the record books because it is not “real” Test cricket.

Head destroys India again, India get pumped, Root scores a century. One hell of a Sunday for Indian cricket fans.
 
it will be difficult now to avoid the series loss for India.. they are looking very weak with players like Rohit, Virat, Gill etc in the team.
 
With Rohit captaining next test is lost for the Indians imo.

This ongoing poor batting display on the first innings wont cut it, Indians got lucky the Perth wicket was fast and bouncy and their bowlers got on top of the Aussie bats, it wont work all the time.
 
Australia should gang their heads in shame that they managed to lose to this rabble in Perth.

Average player had won india two ICC trophy .

Its not GG fault that oldies are so leach that can't give youngsters chances and retired gracefully .they were get golden opportunity when we won the world T20 and after that they should have retired from international cricket .

Rohit has become most powerfull man in Indian cricket at this moments and coach can't do anything even if they want's. Mumbai's Mafia including Gavaskar, Shastri, Chearleader sanjay manjrekar defending him at any cost .

Rohit captaincy was very pathetic in Adelaide test when 2nd day morning Bumrah taken 2 wickets in just four overs he didn't get any more overs in entire session even though head was just coming to bat and we all know how vulnerable he is at the star of the innings.

Correct gambo is powerless here. He wants to get rid of kohli kela and rohit but they have backing from bcci and political support

Nothing gambo can do

Btw gambo Is like head. He also won 2 icc events and infact he also won the test championship mace.

It's almost like Duncan fletcher kind of situation for gambhir.dhoni wasn't interested in test cricket till his retirement after 2011 wc and was an abysmal captain in sena tours.he was not even warranted a place outside sub continent. Dhoni was at the height of powers and srinivasan has overriden the selection committee chairman decision to remove captaincy authority from dhoni.
It seems all indian fans and gambhir have to wait till ct to see these leeches retire.They will sink the team in ct too shamelessly and retire gracefully
 
Drawn third test. Rain was the Player of the match...

3-1 possible>??

Bharat is going to the 4th test with the series tied 1-1 and a psychological edge over Aussies who might be having to play without inform Travis Head.

One thing is assured now that we go into the 5th test with the series alive.

One can’t ask for anything better while planning a 5 test series.

5 tests in England
5 tests in Australia
Now , another 5 test series next year in England

Test cricket Zindabad :vk2

Bumrah averaging 10 with 20 plus wickets has been the difference in Aus not alreary winning the BGT.

Hope to see Aus turn it on in the next 2 tests, Bumrah doing what he does and Aus still winning.

Winning series, when the best bowler of era is havinga an ATG series, will be awesome.

Despite playing very ordinary cricket bar bumrah ,it is 1-1 after passing toughest venues like Perth , Brisbane and Pink-ball test is also out of the way. If Indian top order find their mojo no one can Stop india to winning or drawing the series.

Combination of Boland/JOsh + Starc + Cummins is on par with Bumrah and co. If anything slightly better as once Bumrah's spell is over India is out of options. Also from batting wise KL Rahul is the best for India. But he is not a big counterattacking batsman like Head. So Australia has edge in both departments. And India has limited experience with pink ball. Above all this is their home turf. They should be steamrolling this Indian batting line up. Huge credit to KL Rahul from that perspective.
 
Pretty impressive for these mugs who got whitewashed by New Zealand to have Australia battle up to the 5th test to get their series win, if at all.
 
Well, the tides have been favoring india so far. Rain etc... india will be happy so far in this series. I think it can be 2-2

Rain certainly saved India big time, funny some posters argued that India would have chased 270 plus in Gabba.

Anyways current scoreline

Australia 2-1 India, one test to go
 
India should lose 3-1.

As a matter of fact, they should've lost 1st game too. But, they somehow managed a fluke win.

Explanation by Cummins:

"I can explain that. His finger's are so hot, he needs to put it in a cup of ice. Yeah, that's what it is. That's normally the running joke. He also took a wicket somewhere where goes straight to the fridge, grabs a bucket of ice, puts his fingers in and just walks in front of Lyno (Nathan Lyon). Just like that. It's very funny,"

Naa, since indian posters are ignoring Rohit Sharma's explanation that Jaiswala did indeed edged it, im gonna do a sunny here and make up my own theory.

Head was signaling what he always does to India.
 
The result was expected. But not the same manner. India was all set for 1-1 when the post tea session started. So it was more a case of India losing the plot several times. Infact when Jaiswal dropped India had a chance to win as well. Anyone but ROhit would have won this test for India

Rohit captaincy looked good to me. He had Aus reeling at 91-6 and potential to bowl them out with 230 lead only. However, Pat Cummins batting this series trumps Bumrah's bowling.

IND could have also drawn the match if not for Pant's brain fade. Obviouisly it was reactionary and natural for him to play shots like that. I always wondered why isnt Cummins bowling yorkers instead of short balls? Obviously Cummins knows how to get wickets wayy better than me and what triggers batsmen to play those natural reactionary shots.

When looking at some team record's in australia, fair to say drawing a single test is achivement but india had already won two series and won a test in this Series also .

17-0 Losing streaks fans should not talk about drawing a series in australia is nothing.
